just wondering what every ones opinion of what leaf springs are,
im wondering what leaf spring is best for articulation. allpro, marlin crawler, trail gear. dont care about money just wondering which is the best spring for flexability. and rock crawling.
 
rears up front.....there are plenly you can use for the rear 63" chevys, 56" Fords, Dakota rear...there are others. No need to spend the coin on after market springs.
 
I've run the trail gears and some pro comps and both do just fine, but the trail gears had more leaves and were more flexy. Both ended up bending pretty bad and needed replacing over time, but your yota is probably a good bit lighter than my frontier. I'd try the trail gears, but definitely recommend their heavy duty springs if you have a v6 or larger motor.
 
Rears up front cheap but net too much axle wrap because of their offset. The Marlin, TG, Allpro, ect are going to be your best bet for the front IMO. As for the rear, the 63s work but they become an anchor.
 
well im not made of money but im going to run marlin crawler front and rear. i think as far as allpro and trail gear go they are all 3 the same as flex and ride. i have not noticed much diff between them. but as far as durability and long time tested ability the marlins are by far the better choice. and the most important thing is marlin is made here in the USA so i would much rather keep what little money i do have here in the us.
 
I bent the allpro springs that I had on my 4runner. Shawn bent his allpro rears and Unbreakable broke one of his allpro fronts. I have seen them all in action and rears up front and any of the previously mention rear springs do just as good if not better than aftermarket springs. I also think that aftermarket 4" springs make trucks pretty tall.
 
I have 3rd gen rears up front and had bad axle wrap until I put some clamps on them. They do just fine now. Here is my shit with rears up front and 63"s
